"The anxiety in me was growing. Fear of being not understood. Fear of being executed. And of course the fear of being hated and discriminated by my friends." _________________________________________ Merlin, Arthur and the knights of the round table are on a hunting trip when bandits attack and Merlin gets hurt. Some scars are revealed... Sadly I do not own Merlin. _________________________________________

A wolfstar AU (no-magic) {a relatively short story} The 1970s, a wonderful time of bold makeup, bell-bottom jeans, vinyl shops, police brutality and rampant homophobia. You get the gist. In which, Remus Lupin is a fresh-faced wallflower just out of college, supporting his community in miniature efforts, as to not get noticed. Sirius Black, maybe not as fresh-faced but still just out of college, is, let's say, a little bolder. He's happy to be noticed - even happier when it's the freckled boy that hides in the library. Disclaimer: my parents weren't even a twinkle in someone's eyes in the 70s. Historical accuracy isn't going to be my focus point; but I'll try my best. And obviously, I don't own the main characters, but I wish I did. ::::::Without context, I'm sorry in advance. (: :: a chapter will include what I think it needs to - some will definitely be shorter than others. ::It is finished, but some filler chapters might yet be added.
